In this episode, we explore the world of cryptography with a focus on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a transformative technology for data privacy. Starting with foundational encryption concepts—plaintext, ciphertext, and symmetric/asymmetric cryptography—we build up to understanding FHE’s potential. We’ll cover the key players in FHE development, like Craig Gentry, IBM, and Microsoft, dive into its complex mathematical foundations, and highlight real-world applications in cloud computing, finance, and AI. For CISSP candidates, we’ll connect FHE’s unique advantages to CISSP domains, illustrating how it enhances data protection, risk management, and secure architecture practices.
